It may work very effectively indeed.<br />They will get loads of grants from gullible green groups and politicians, the company owners will pay themselves huge salaries, skim money into their bank accounts and provide income for their friends. Then in a few years it will all go bust and be forgotten with the taxpayer having footed the bill.<br />You are looking at this from the point of view of an energy scheme - wrong viewpoint - it has nothing to do with energy and it's not meant to 'work' from that aspect. It's the scam aspect that could well work.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-67827258959011594402013-05-19T04:42:59.527+01:002013-05-19T04:42:59.527+01:00Greater men than you have been embarrassed by thei...Greater men than you have been embarrassed by their scientific predictions. Oil and gas has been living in reservoirs under the oceans for thousands of years, what to do with all these empty reservoirs that nature made leak proof. I installed a compressed air system in my workshop and it has never ever leaked, my compressor only kicks on when I use tools. You must be of the Bodget and Scarper school of engineering!<br /><br />"I can state flatly that heavier than air flying machines are impossible."<br /><br />"I have not the smallest molecule of faith in aerial navigation other than ballooning or of the expectation of good results from any of the trials we hear of ... I would not care to be a member of the Aeronautical Society." [Source]<br /><br />"The air-ship, on the plan of those built by Santos-Dumont, is a delusion and a snare. A gas balloon, paddled around by oars, is an old idea, and can never be of any practical use. Some day, no doubt, some one will invent a flying machine that one will be able to navigate without having to have a balloon attachment. But the day is a long way off when we shall see human beings soaring around like birds." [TLWT, vol. 2, p. 1168]<br /><br />"They never will be able to use dirigible balloons as a means of conveying passengers from place to place. There never was and never can be any commercial value to any such affair. It is all a delusion and a snare. Santos-Dumont is a very bright young man, but an air ship as planned by him is not practicable." [Said to reporters after having arrived in New York on April 19, 1902. Quoted in the New York Times, p.2, the next day.]<br /><br />more (http://zapatopi.net/kelvin/quotes/)<br />Key bored warrior.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05192681529004653727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-1875611394949808722013-05-18T22:07:06.731+01:002013-05-18T22:07:06.731+01:00What do you think of home CHP?
